Feasibility

FinanceCustomer Request for a sub 5000 dollar

budget.Previous team had a bill of material for roughly

2200 dollars not including aluminum stockA 12 foot stick of 2.5x2.5x.25 6061, 12 foot

stick of 3x3x.25 6061 shipped to Rochester is roughly 500 dollars from www.metalsdepot.com

If a budget of 3000 dollars is targeted, this leaves 300 dollars for the addition of adjustments

This is well under the 5000 dollar request
